The summer season is in full swing, so I would like to write a few words about top dressing.
I do not use artificial fertilizers in my garden. I believe that having
access to natural means of soil enrichment, it would be ecological tactlessness to the land to feed it with chemicals.
Thanks to a cow breeder I know, I have constant access to natural fertilizers: manure, liquid manure, slurry and cow cow. The manure I bring once a year is piled up in a secluded place in the garden where it lies for at least six months. In June, I half-fill a several-liter canister with it. I replenish its volume with water. For the next two weeks, I mix and look after the resulting preparation.When it foams and fermented, nothing stands in the way of feeding plants in the garden with this specificity, which have already used the first, spring fertilization.
I pour the resulting slurry into watering cans and water all the plants. The manure remains at the bottom of the bulb are still so rich in various components that they can be successfully reused. So I pour water there again and repeat the procedure from the beginning. The second setting prepared in this way is used to feed plants in the garden in August. All flowers, shrubs, trees and vegetables fertilized with manure preparations develop wonderfully and, above all, guarantee abundant crops.
But that's not all. In order to take full advantage of the valuable properties of this fertilizer, in late autumn, after all the slurry has been poured in, I spread the remains of the manure on the already cleaned beds. When November rain comes, the water will soak into the ground and dissolve whatever is valuable in the fertilizer used earlier.
